Morris Minor Owners Club

You are a one

Does that joke work in German as well?

The DPF on my 2010 Tiguan was coming up as faulty. I had it flushed through under pressure. They inject a cleaner, then neutralise it. Then run the car for a while. It did the job, no more limp home mode. What is concerning is that the clouds of smoke coming out of the exhaust, after the treatment, ...

Three men were stranded on a desert island with no food apart from a box of tinned meat. They debate how to get into the tins. One, an engineer, proposes a machine made from palm branches and sharp stones. The second, a thermodynamics expert, recommends heating the tins on a fire until they rupture....

They are easy and fun to refurbish, provided the structure is ok

Is it just when you start the car, or continually smoking?

I’m not much of a Dyson fan. They perform well ,but for a ‘premium quality’ machine their reliability is quite poor...in our experience.

Nice, but unlikely to happen. The land is worth too much money....

It’s a tricky one this. We would love to drive a smaller, more environmentally friendly car...but we need the slightly higher driving position of a crossover type car to comfortably access and egress.

Hijacking this post slightly, my starter has always been prone to jamming once in a while. Traveller with 1275 engine and Ford 5 speed box.
Easy to solve by rocking in gear or freeing of with a spanner but it’s always puzzled me. Never happened on my saloon...

I don’t really think that a Minor needs any enhanced cooling or improvement. Works just fine as it is

Is there any progress on upgrading this forum?

I found that raking it out was the only natural way to control duckweed. Important to leave it at the side of the pond for a while so that creatures can escape back into the water. I had some success controlling blanketweed by placing a small bound bundle of barley straw into the pond. I think that ...

Could you put a picture up? That would help.
Lots of cars have had colour changes over the years.

I wouldn’t be too worried, my Trav has done that for years..

A proper classic that

One thing that I’ve learned in my moderately long life is never get into an argument about politics, religion or,most importantly, cats versus dogs .

28 all round works for me.

To be fair, Nottingham took more care of its heritage than most cities. It’s still a handsome place.
By contrast Derby destroyed most of its finest buildings back in the ‘60s to build a road.
